So I thought I would post a small blurb about the infamous camp x-ray that is the camp in gitmo that was used to house terrorist detainees from 2002
till 2005
Camp X-Ray was a temporary detention facility at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp of Joint Task Force Guantanamo on the U.S. Naval Base in
Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The first twenty captives arrived at Guantanamo on January 11 2002.[1][2] It was named Camp X-Ray because various temporary
camps in the station were named sequentially from the beginning and then from the end of the NATO phonetic alphabet. The legal status of detainees at
the camp has been a significant source of controversy, ultimately reaching the United States Supreme Court.

the above picture is of camp x-ray in 2002 what the wiki article does not mention is that the detainment camp was there long before 2002 was used for
the great Haitian migration and camp x-ray was used as a holding area for them
In 1994, during the Haitian migrant operation "Operation Sea Signal" at Guantanamo Bay, a number of migrant camps were set-up at "Radio
Range" the site of the Naval Base's radio antennas on the south side of the base, and the future site of the more permanent detainee facility.
To identify the camps, a name was designated to each to correspond with the phonetic alphabet used for official military "radio" communication (Camp
Alpha, Camp Bravo up to Camp Golf). When additional sites were established on the north side of the base, camp names were designated using the
opposite end of the alphabet, to include Camp
X-Ray.

From the 1970s onwards, the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base was used to house Cuban and Haitian refugees intercepted on the high seas. In the 1990s,
it held refugees who fled Haiti in Camp Bulkeley until United States District Court Judge Sterling Johnson Jr. declared the camp unconstitutional on
June 8, 1993, and the last Haitian migrants departed in late 1995

And now I introduce the camp x-ray now!
It now stands empty since the move and it will remain there rusting unable to be torn down because of the possibility of war crime trials. Or some
such thing
